News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[EeyoreFan#24]

it’s always been like that around automated equipment. Especially if you company, like Disney, likes to space out purchases. From the outside equipment looks the same, on the inside a completely different set of sub components. Not because the Oem is trying to be difficult or incompetent (usually). They just usually can’t physically get the same exact parts if it’s been months or years. Well, now a days, minutes. There’s other reasons too, obviously.

From today, I’ll post more later when I ride it tn:

This shot makes me irrationally upset because a couple of attractive gates on the electrical substation (or whatever it is), nicer railing around the curb, a bit more plaster, a vine trellis over the stairs, painted parking spots, slightly better paving, and a bit of well-placed landscaping would make this look suitably front stage while quickly passing by on the skyliner. Dream scenario would also be building out the facades on top, but it's silly how little work they'd have to do to clean this up.

$50 million, at a minimum. Can’t be done.

As it is, they had to cancel Mary Poppins $40 million carousel to pay for the gorgeous faux beams in the Creperie’s ceiling.

Im drafting my email now, come on Disney. Plant some trees at least, this is supposed to be a world class theme park and it looks like the alley behind my apartment. They’re not even trying.

 

[castlecake2.0]

How much would it cost to build a mini berm? Bare minimum pile up some top soil and stick some trees in it. This is non excusable.

Amazing.

It's like they're forgotten that all of WDW is supposed to be "onstage."

I know they've allowed some backstage areas to be visible from transportation for many years, but those were minimal and their appearance was taken into account. This might be a new low.

Totally a new low. Guest.Services@disneyworld.com if you want to join my fight. Like I said above, just plant some damn trees at least.

A lot as it would require some extensive reworking of the storm water management.

Alright not even a berm then, just plant some trees anywhere

 

[James Alucobond]

I can’t imagine a berm would even work considering the clearances you probably need around the skyliner. I had always assumed the second floor of the creperie was stumpy for exactly that reason, meaning you wouldn’t be able to mound anything up in a location suitable to conceal anything or import.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Whatever gates, berms, or trees planted; it all has to allow the largest of emergency and construction vehicles through and to have access to the infrastructure.

The entire trip on the Skyliner is a view of both front and back of house of various buildings. At some point you have to stop the theming.

That said, it wouldn't hurt to do some nicer paving and painting.

 

[EPCOTCenterLover]

You expect a bit of back of the house for the hotels and parking lots and shopping. The parks should be held to a very different standard.

They certainly didn’t hold the parks to a higher a standard when they built the monorail and original skyway

Exactly!

The cars help. But they forgot some things.

But they could have at least extended the facades and theming a little here:

 

[MisterPenguin]

The cars help. But they still forgot some things.

They can just paint the walls and floor green. It will give 'go away green' a new meaning!

Yes cuz the skyway totally never let anyone see backstage
